I’m really getting into these Nobrow Press books

The Perfect Rock by Sarah Nobel

June 9, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The story of The Perfect Rock was so-so for me. However, the illustrations of Sarah Nobel made the book well, almost perfect. Nobrow Press really has some fun, informative, interesting, and cute reads. Nobel’s story deals with sibling rivalry and family. The publisher description says independence as well, but I really did not see that. I did see how three otter siblings realize that while they need the perfect rock, they do not want one that causes them to argue, to fight and not be […]

The connections never end

So Not Ghoul by Karen Yin

Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gangotra

May 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

So Not Ghoul by Karen Yin and Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gangotra have connections in themes and are two very wonderfully different books. However, if you like one, you might just like the other. I will start with the main difference between the two, which is the tone. Yin’s story is while seriously themed, is more humorous, and Gangotra created a story with a more overall serious tone that is still lighthearted in nature. The main and most important similarity is that both the […]

Hop in, we’re going for a read

Far from the Tree by Robin Benway

May 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

After finishing Far from the Tree, I told myself, “Well, that was a ride.” But was it a good or bad one? Yes. There were things I loved, and things I hated. Sometimes I thought the characters were amazing, sometimes horrible (really horrible, and not necessarily where you might think that yourself). They were real and they were stereotypes. They are good and they are bad. In other words, human. Robin Benway created a story of three biologically siblings (boy, girl, girl). And there are […]

Sisters and Cake (I’ll take the cake, thanks)

Starla Jean V02 Starla Jean Takes the Cake by Elana K. Arnold

April 5, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

There is nothing like starting book two of a series and not realizing it! Which is what happened to me with Starla Jean Takes the Cake (volume two) by Elana K. Arnold. But the thing is, I did not realize that until after I finished and saw that the name had volume 2 on it. That shows, that while it probably would have been a good idea to read book one, it is not needed. In book two, Starla Jean has a pet chicken named […]

Don’t toss your baby brother around on the moon

Molly on the Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal

April 5, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When Molly moves to the Moon, she is going to live in such a small home that she can only bring one toy with her, her special soft toy lamb. But that does not stop our Molly on the Moon from having fun. She has some tin cans for having tea, an old cover for a cape and her imagination. However, one day that special toy goes missing only to be found in the clutches of Molly’s baby brother, Luke, (who since the gravity is […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
